We discuss several problems associated with the formulation and use of multiperipheral cluster models and the closely related Reggeon-loop expansion in dual models. We present a method which unambiguously and uniquely counts final states, and combine it with conventional factorization to obtain a t-channel integral equation with Regge-pole solutions. These correctly counted solutions are used to estimate the error induced by various incorrect counting schemes. We then consider the relation between Reggeon and Pomeron poles, assuming the latter originate from crossed-loop or cylinder diagrams, and emphasize the tacit assumptions needed to obtain f-dominated Pomeron couplings. We find a Pomeron intercept of about 0.8. (AIP)
